Sorry scottn, I don't get your post and don't understand why you deleted it.. (maybe language misunderstood)

Jim, yep that's why I was I asking this, my problem is something similar to that...

Hi !

At first sight that gave a good output. I'll try applying it to what I need it for.

Perhaps I should think of another way of doing what I need, 'cause yeah as you say it's a bit messy......

Hi guys!

I'll make this short... Is there any good way to get the day number that first matches the Monday column from the cal command output with awk (or any other text manipulator commands) ?
...

awk 'BEGIN { RS = "||", FS = "-" } /$1/ { print $2 }'


Where $1 is the argument you pass to the script, or the name you want to look for.


EDITED: Now I think that "$1" won't work at all......

If the output of listtapes is something like what you've copied there, why would you put that -F, ?

You can add the -1 flag to ls if you want a one-column list for better reading.

What command/s have you tried so far?

Hi Corona,

That's nice. I didn't know I could tell crontab to use another file.
I don't have to append anything, actually, I have to modify (not add) a line in the middle of the crontab file,...

Hi everyone taking a second to read this :D,

I need to modify a line from the root crontab file... Usually, if I need to do this I use the crontab -e, which opens up the file with Vi, then I edit...

$? gives you the exit status of the latest command executed. In this case if this

echo 'smitha, lucyb, johnk' | grep -q ${USER}

is successfully done, then $? will be 0, else it will be 1 (or...

Looks like a homework or something. What have you tried so far?

What about using fgrep or -F flag?
Maybe something like this... If the fixed string "Not ok to proceed" is not found in the file, then just check if "ok to Proceed" exists; if it does, then generate...

Google (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&source=hp&q=jfs+vs+jfs2&aq=f&oq=&aqi=g7g-m3) has many and very complete answers to your question, you should take a look there...

Hi funksen,

Mmmh no that is not what I am actually looking for. I don't want to see the total size of the /

I'll try to give a more clear example of what I wanna do:

ls /

.
/
/dir1...

Hi faruk, thanks for your answer.

That worked fine, but I was actually asking about doing something like listing only directories

i.e.: I use on /

du -ms * | sort

and that shows me a list...

Hi,

I would like to know if there's any option to use with the du command so that I can list only the files/directories on the current filesystem... I usually use

du -gs *But I'd like to see...

Huh, I see... Looks like I'll keep using this command until I learn awk/sed.

Also, nice observation reborg.

Thanks to you both for your replies!! ;)

Hi,

I had to do something I could do in a way that worked fine, but I'm still wondering if there's a shorter way (which I think there is)...

I had to find only the ASCII files of a directory,...

Have you tried the X option for the ls?

Does it show any error, message, or something after you try to delete it?
Also, how are you trying to delete the file?

I think I don't understand what you want to do.

First off, the ls -l command won't show you the creation date of a file, but the modification date.

If what you want to do is to show the date...
